i am finally making some good HP and TQ and am ready to start in on the suspension. except for the tires and rims its all stock. i am leaning toward drag radials (i really dont want to change rims and tires for the track) probably the nitto 270/40 17's but i dont know about the suspension. i see lots of torque arms, LCA some with relocation brackets some without, springs, shocks, poly bushings.... please provide some input as to what would make great track use and drivable street use. both opinion and real world example is appreciated.

I'd use either BMR or Spohn for these parts:

poly/poly LCAs with brackets
adj. TA
weld in SFCs
pan hard rod

All the other stuff you can pretty much stay away from for the 1/4 mile. Such as sway bars, and shock tower braces.

Hope that helps some

 

mike what about springs??

 

I would get a good set of springs and shocks also.

 

I'd suggest the Eibach drag launch kit..comes with springs and an airbag for the passenger rear. The springs will not lower the car any if that's what your looking for. But it helps weight transfer and putting the power to the ground. Wich is really what your after for a 1/4 mile car right ?

 

any lowering would just be a plus. what is the air bag for??

pre load. Get some 90/10's

and you can always loose a tenth by pulling the front sway bar, without loosing much streetability.
